Frank E. Beach Memorial Fountain, Abstract stainless steel fountain in International Rose Test Garden, United States
The Frank E. Beach Memorial Fountain features three vertical posts supporting horizontal beams, creating geometric patterns in a sunken garden area.
The sculpture, commissioned by the Beach family in 1974, commemorates Frank E. Beach who designated Portland as the City of Roses.
The fountain reflects Portland's connection to roses through its placement in the test garden and its dedication to the city's horticultural heritage.
Visitors can access the fountain daily without admission fees through Washington Park's network of paths, which now include wheelchair-accessible routes.
Water flows through the geometric steel structure into a reflecting pool, creating a musical sound that enhances the garden experience.
